It's past two o'clock in the afternoon.

After finishing the routine meeting in the institute, and sleeping on the straw mat in the mobile board house for a while, Chen Han devoted himself to the excavation work again.

However, it was still very hot at two o'clock in the afternoon.

But do archaeology.

It doesn't matter if it's cold or hot, whether it's raining, hail, snowing, or windy.

As long as there is a construction site, it must be on time every day, all year round!

It's good to be able to spread out a straw mat and take a nap at the hottest time in the middle of the day.

Chen Han didn't feel much bitterness.

Maybe it's because I like it, sometimes love can last a long time, and it's not an empty chicken soup.

At least at this time, under the high temperature of 30 degrees, Chen Han, who was constantly turning the soil under the sun, was enjoying it.

The F20 probe is very large.

The area of the house is 30 square meters, which is enough for Chen Han and the four of them to clean up for a long time.

Various cultural relics such as large stone chimes, divination bones, painted pottery jars, lacquer boxes, bone knives, pottery cups, jade axes, stone spears and so on have been found and excavated from the exploration party.

Each cultural relic represents the highly developed handicraft industry of the ancestors of the Lajia site.

As the ancestors of the late Neolithic period, the stone and jade craftsmanship of the Lajia site has reached the peak level of prehistoric civilization.

The only pity is that not a single bronze has been found.

This means that the Lajia site has been destroyed before the transition from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age.

Another half a month of exploration.

The 30 square probes have basically been cleaned up.

All kinds of stone tools and pottery that were originally pressed under the soil layer have been cleaned up by Chen Han and the others, and they are exposed one by one in the exploration square.

"Whew, it's almost cleaned up." Chen Han crossed his waist with an expression that could make him worse.

The three of them cleaned up the 30 square meters in only a month and a half, which is indeed very fast.

Among them, Chen Han alone handled almost one-third of the workload!

Naturally, he can be proud and proud.

"Don't be intoxicated, there's no outsider here." Zhuang Yunpeng shook his head funny, shook the camera in his hand at Chen Han, and said:

"Hurry up and take pictures to record them, and then organize and put these cultural relics together."

The finishing step of cleaning up and excavating is naturally to take pictures and archive the cleaned up cultural relics, and then uncover the cultural relics and properly preserve them.

Cultural relics such as stoneware, pottery, jade, and bronze artifacts that will not be corroded if they come into contact with the air, and will not undergo any oxidation reaction, are not in a hurry to be loaded and taken away as soon as they are excavated.

Unlike some silk fabrics and painted paints, after being exposed to the air, they oxidize in a few minutes, leaving nothing left.

Therefore, Zhuang Yunpeng and the others were also more casual, talking and laughing, while taking pictures of the cultural relics in the F20 exploration party for archiving.

After Chen Han was comfortable for a while, he also joined them.

Every archaeology student has learned photography techniques while studying at school.

Of course, it is certainly not comparable to the professional students of the photography department.

But how to shoot the unearthed cultural relics clearly and how to deal with the shooting angle, Chen Han is still handy.

Facing the various cultural relics freshly unearthed on the ground, Chen Han took a camera to capture from various angles, and completely photographed the appearance of each cultural relics when they were unearthed.

Seriously, it's like a police officer who collects evidence at the scene of a homicide.

"Click, click."

"Click, click."

Patting and patting, a clay bowl that was buckled upside down on the ground and was diagonally pressed by an amphora clay pot next to it caught his attention.

After taking pictures of the two unearthed artifacts, Chen Han squatted down and frowned.

The premonition that had been surrounding him suddenly became clear again.

He inexplicably felt that there was something unusual about the seemingly ordinary inverted pottery bowl in front of him.

"Senior Brother Zhuang, Senior Sister Su, come here!" Chen Han hurriedly raised his head and beckoned to his senior brother and sister.

"What's wrong?" Zhuang Yunpeng and Su Sa rushed over when they heard the sound.

"Look at this pottery bowl, do you feel anything special?"

The two followed the direction of Chen Han's finger and looked at the pottery bowl that was buckled upside down on the ground.

"Uh..." Zhuang Yunpeng looked at it twice, scratching his head: "Isn't this a typical Qi family culture pottery bowl, what's so special?" ”

"The diameter of the bowl is only about ten centimeters, which is no different from our modern bowls." Su Sa also nodded and said.

"The depth is not deep, it's not very special, it's just a relatively ordinary bowl."

The bowl has not changed much from prehistoric times to modern times, from shape to appearance.

If there is anything special, that is, some ancient bowls will have exquisite paintings or carvings on the bowl, so that the exquisite bowl can be regarded as special.

The plain primitive pottery bowl in front of me, whose color is no different from the soil on the ground, is certainly not special.

But Chen Han still frowned, and his intuition told him that this bowl was definitely not simple!

"Upside down... Buckles..."

After Chen Han muttered to himself twice, a flash of inspiration flashed.

With such an inverted bowl, maybe the bowl is indeed ordinary, but could there be something special in it?

Thinking of this, Chen Han hurriedly stretched out his hand and straightened the clay pot that was diagonally pressed against the body of the pottery bowl.

Then holding the body of the pottery bowl with both hands, he carefully uncovered the upside-down bowl.

"S....!"

Zhuang Yunpeng, who saw the situation under the bowl for the first time, gasped, and shouted in a trembling voice: "What is this?!" ”

Chen Han paused, and hurriedly looked down.

I saw that after the pottery bowl was lifted, the first thing that was revealed was a mound of earth upside down on the ground, the same shape as the pottery bowl.

This is not surprising.

But an unexpected scene appeared!

At the top of the upside-down mound of dirt, that is, at the bottom of the bowl, there are more than a dozen curly strips with a pale yellow glow, twisting and twisting on the top!

All three were shocked.

Zhang Jianbo, who was attracted by their surprise, shouted in a split voice: "This... This is noodles?! ”

"Impossible!"

Although he shouted that it was impossible, out of professional instinct, Zhang Jianbo immediately picked up the camera on his chest, adjusted the focus, and took several photos of the curly strips.

"Four thousand years ago, the Chinese people had already mastered the process of making noodles?"

"No, how can noodles be preserved for 4,000 years?!"

Zhang Jianbo had words in his mouth, and his brain was about to be blown up by this major discovery.

Noodles contain a lot of carbohydrates, let alone thousands of years old, even a few months, enough to rot and spoil and then decompose.

How is it possible to survive in the dirt until now?

Chen Han, Zhuang Yunpeng, and Su Sa also stared at each other for a while, relieved from the shock, and reason reoccupied the level of IQ, suppressing the somewhat crazy thoughts in their hearts.

Although it looks alike, the probability that this thing is a noodle is too low and unrealistic.

But if it's not a noodle, what is it?
